Join the fight between Prisoners and Guards in this VR prisonǃ Plot your escape with friends or keep the prisoners in lineǃ
Prison Escape is a cross-platform player-versus-player game world that can be played with up to 32 players.
Gameplay
Players spawn inside a prison, divided into two roles - prisoners and guards. Their objective is to led their team to victory either by eliminating everyone from the opposite team, or completing role specific goals - escaping the facility as a prisoner or preventing any escapees until the time runs out as a guard. The game area is filled with items, locations and special events players can utilize to their advantage, e.g. weapons, vents, causing a fire or blackouts. Additionally players can earn points by collecting money, winning or eliminations, and spend them on opening crates that drop special items and weapons. While guards spawn with guns immediately available to them and being able to access every area, the prisoner gameplay is more nuanced and opportunistic.
Roles

Prisoners start as innocent and can't be attacked by guards until they do a prohibited action that discretely marks them temporarily as suspicious or permanently as wanted, e.g. picking up weapons or entering restricted areas. Their goal is to escape the facility or eliminate all guards.

Players can take damage by being attacked by other players using weapons. Additionally a guard will receive damage when attacking an innocent prisoner and a prisoner loses HP after sticking a fork into a power outlet causing a blackout.
Healing
Health will start to slowly restore itself after a while. Additionally the beds in the Infirmary can heal too.
Armor
Armor acts as extra health. It can only be received by collecting a bulletproof vest from a crate.
Speed
Player speed can be sometimes be altered throughout the gameplay. Collecting an energy drink from a crate will permanently increase player's speed and walking through the gas from a gas grenade will slow them down.
